About Rescue Training
Because of the diverse nature of work at height, statutory rescue services are not able to respond to every type of emergency.

The responsility for emergency planning and rescue provision therefore falls to duty holders and this requirement has been incorporated into the UK Work at Height Regulations (WAHR).

Further details of these regulations are given on the 'resources' section of this site.
 An excellent course which will provide the format of all our future national training
